Implementación de un sistema piloto de gestión integral de residuos sólidos para la Urbanización Los Cipreses II.

Abstract

This degree project consists of the pilot implementation of a solid residue management system for the Los Cipreses II Urbanization, located in the Condado sector in the city of Quito. The project includes the phases of integral residue management, described in the Organic Environmental Code of Ecuador. The implementation of the management system was based on the principle of hierarchy, that is: minimization, reuse, take advantage of residue and final disposition.

In the pilot implementation, the participation of the Urbanization directive and some residents was achieved, jointly carrying out different activities in each of the management phases, mainly contemplating the realization of a compost process and the participation of grassroots recyclers, in a way that organic and inorganic waste can be used and revalued with environmental practices of composting and recycling, respectively.

A guide to the solid residue management system was shared with the Urbanization directive, with the intention that it be provided to all residents and they can also handle their organic and inorganic residue in a correct way.
